Okay, the Sous vide may be the best way to cook whole artichokes. Just plain whole chokes. Nothing added to the bag. I was a bit disappointed that the color wasn't bright green like others have claimed when Sous Vide cooking them. I think they cheated and added a little help into the bag. As with most things I do I wanted to do the unadulterated version first so I can test against it.
In my research 183-185 was the recommended temp. Times varied from 30-90 minutes.some halved some whole. I went with 183 and 90 minutes. For the most part the choke was done. Another 30 minutes would have been perfect.
2 hours is longer than steaming or boiling, but the texture was definitely better.
With that here's the pics. Chokes, always a good way to eat butter.
